I've had a number of cars I really enjoyed. My 1st car was a used, 15-year-old Morris 850, AKA "mini."
While in my twenties I had a thing for Alfa Romeos, I owned several coupes, spiders and berlinas, a 1980 sedan was the best of these. A 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SS (Sprint Speciale) was the most collectable.
I almost forgot about the 1972 2000 GTV. With two sidedraft Weber carbs & good 205x60 tires, that was a fast car. Got 100,000 miles from it, too.
I had an all-wheel-drive 5-cylinder Audi 4000CS quattro sedan in 1984, that was nice.
This Mazda6 is my current car. Very dependable and not too dull. Plus it can hold 3 bikes (with all the wheels on).
